Frequently Asked Questions
Feel free to email griff@griffmarshalloutdoors.com with any additional questions.
-
How many people can go on a Lower Deschutes Multi-Day Camp Trip?
The maximum per boat on a Multi-Day Camp Trip is two. We can run trips from two to ten people. In our experience six-to-eight people is the sweet spot.
-
How many days will we be on the river?
We can run anything from two-days to six depending on your scheduling needs. Most our trips are either three or four days, the latter being the preference because it allows for two full days when you wake up and fall asleep in the canyon! Regardless of your trip’s duration, Day One will be an early meet time in Madras and the last day you will be off the river in Maupin by 2:00pm.
-
What species of fish can we expect to catch on the Lower Deschutes?
Our predominant, season-long quarry down there is the native Redband rainbow trout. They are an extraordinary fish that have been in the Lower Deschutes as long as there’s been a Lower Deschutes. Consistent with all native river trout, the Redbands don’t over-populate, nor do they grow huge. They do, however live in perfect harmony with their surroundings, growing strong, tenacious, astonishingly beautiful and as wily as any trout you’ll meet. To cradle one is to touch Nature’s finest creation. Your encounter with a Lower Deschutes Redband rainbow trout will make you glad you decided to trout fish with a fly rod. The river is also home to native whitefish, federally endangered and exceptionally rare bull trout, beautiful butter-belly suckers, summer-run steelhead, Coho and Chinook Salmon. From late-summer until November we start looking for steelhead. As with most rivers, they are the mysterious ghosts of the Lower Deschutes. Whether we specifically target steelhead is up to you. Truth is, often times we hook them when fishing for trout.

What is included in a Lower Deschutes Multi-Day Camp Trip?
Pretty much everything! As with all our guided fly-fishing adventures, rods and reels are included. From ramp to ramp, all your meals are included. On Multi-Day Trips we serve a full lunch each day. Dinner is always a special experience. Each night you will be served a hot appetizer before a delicious three-course meal. You’ll wake in the morning to the aroma of brewing coffee and bacon! After a delicious, fortifying breakfast, it’s back in the boats for another day on the river. Any and all dietary restrictions and/or preferences will be addressed. Each guide boat will have a cooler full of cold soda, Gatorade and water. We also provide large dry bags. Our camp includes spacious, comfortable tents equipped cots and sleeping pads.
-
What isn’t included in a Multi-Day Camp Trip?
You will be responsible for purchasing an Oregon Fishing License for the duration of the trip. Our Boater’s Pass must also be purchased by the “Group Leader”. Once your trip is booked, we will send a Confirmation Letter detailing how to purchase both of those things. Additionally, we do not provide any alcoholic beverages. Many clients bring their favorite snack bar or trail mix. Clients typically bring a sleeping bag and pillow, but we can provide if you need. And let’s not forget a generous gratuity for the guides!
-
What clothes should I pack for a Multi-Day Camp Trip?
Dressing properly is a vital part of a good day on the water. In the spring and fall that can mean anything from a heavy base layers, sweaters and a knit hat, to board shorts and a hooded sun shirt. During the summer, we are usually in lightweight, UV protectant shirts and a large-brimmed hat. Often during the summer months we wet-wade down there, so a pair of neoprene socks or extra pair of thick wool socks will make your boots fit without waders on.
-
What else should I bring on a Multi-Day Camp Trip?
We recommend some polarized sunglasses, good sunscreen, lip balm, headlamp, toothpaste and brush, a book. If you’re into photography, bring your favorite camera, as long as you have some kind of waterproof case or pack. You’ll be glad you did when you see the spectacular scenery. As mentioned above, we do not supply any alcoholic beverages. But you are welcome to bring a beer or whatever your preference is. Based on our experience, if you enjoy beer on a river trip, bring more than you think you’ll need!
